Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Governors nation wide should send word to the State and Local Police to arrest ICE on sight. If they resist, then their National Guard should be mobilized to bring this terrorist Gestapo under control. American Communities should be protected.

The sexual abuse of minors is not a partisan issue. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles is about right vs wrong, good vs evil, and it’s long past time to acknowledge and protect the survivors. All members of Congress must be on the side of justice. Voters are watching. 2026 is coming.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

I’m a simple man, I think if you are an elected senator you should have to accept at least one challenge of physical combat per serving term if you are found by your constituents to have failed them in a majority (voted of course) I al open to this applying more broadly as well to any public office

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing
An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight.  They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more.  Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.
